Winner of the UFC heavyweight championship belt John Jones mockingly responded to one of his subscribers on the social network X, who suggested that the American was afraid of the third number in the division rating Sergei Pavlovich.
“Of course I’m terrified. No matter who wins this interim belt, the essence will still be the same. The greatest one gets old and runs away from challengers, doesn’t he? The 36-year-old champion, who has held the title all his life, is beginning to think about retiring from his career. What a coward,” Jones wrote.
Let us remember that Pavlovich was knocked out in the first round by Tom Aspinall in November last year. At stake in the meeting was the interim championship belt in the UFC heavyweight division.
